You can build a venue map on any plan, including Basic. Publishing a map requires a Starter or Pro plan — on Basic, the publish control opens an upgrade prompt instead. See Pricing plans.
Open the map editor
1
Navigate to the map editor
From your event dashboard, click Venue Map in the sidebar.
2
Add booths and other elements
The tool palette sits at the top right of the canvas:
Select an element to move, resize, rotate, recolor, duplicate, or reorder its layer from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
3
Set each booth's table type and number
Select a booth and use the bottom toolbar to set:
- Table type & price — which of your table tiers this booth belongs to
- Booth number — the identifier vendors and attendees see
4
Pin elements you don't want to move
Select an element and click the padlock button in the bottom toolbar (Lock Position / Unlock Position) to pin it in place. Pinned elements cannot be dragged, rotated, or resized until you unlock them. This is most useful for an uploaded floor plan image, so it stays put while you draw booths over it.
A booth with an active vendor reservation is also undraggable and renders at reduced opacity. That is separate from pinning — it reflects a vendor’s claim, not an editor setting.
5
Assign vendors to booths
Open the Assignments panel and search for a vendor by name or inventory. Open the vendor, then use Assign Table to pick the booth (or booths) they should occupy. You can notify the vendor about their assignment from the same panel, and leave a private host note on their record.
If your event uses the Table Select cart method, vendors claim their own booths during the application, so there is usually nothing to assign here.
6
Use TAI for layout assistance
TAI is a natural-language assistant built into the map editor. Click the TAI button on the canvas to open it.Describe what you want in plain English — for example: “Add 20 booths in a 4×5 grid in the center of the canvas” or “Create a section labeled Artist Alley with 10 rectangular booths.” TAI places the elements on your canvas, and you can keep iterating with follow-up instructions like “Move that section to the left side.”
TAI cannot change your cart or payment method — those live on Tables → Settings, not in the map editor.
7
Publish your map
The publish control in the header shows your current state — Not Published or Published, with the audience underneath. Click it to open the Go Live dialog, which walks through three steps:
- Set Map Border — draw the boundary of your floor plan. The later steps stay disabled until a border exists.
- Set Map Visibility — choose who can see the map (below).
- Preview and Publish — use Show Preview to see the map as visitors will.
Map visibility
Who can see this map? has three options:Highlight vendors
Highlighting makes a vendor stand out on the published map — useful for headline sellers, sponsors-in-all-but-name, or anyone you want attendees to find first. A highlighted vendor’s booth renders larger than its neighbours with a gold sparkle badge on it, and the vendor also appears as a named chip in a pill bar across the top of the map. Clicking that chip zooms the map straight to their booth and opens their vendor page.1
Open a vendor in the Assignments panel
In the map editor, open the Assignments panel and select the vendor you want to feature.
2
Click the sparkle icon
A sparkle icon sits at the top right of the vendor’s profile card, with a Highlight Vendor tooltip. It is grey when the vendor is not highlighted and gold when they are. Click it to open the Highlight Vendors dialog.Opening the dialog on a vendor who is not yet highlighted adds them to the top of the list as a pending change.
3
Order the list
The dialog lists every highlighted vendor with a position number, avatar, name, and first tag. Drag by the grip handle to reorder — positions renumber automatically. This order is the order the chips appear in on the published map.Click the ✕ on a row to remove that vendor from the highlight list.
4
Save
Click Save Changes. The button stays disabled until you have actually changed something. Your event page updates to reflect the new highlights.
Both regular and temporary vendors can be highlighted. Highlighting a vendor does not assign them a booth — a highlighted vendor with no booth assignment still appears in the chip bar, but clicking their chip has no booth to zoom to.
Share and embed the map
Your event’s venue map is publicly accessible from your event page once published with Everyone visibility. You can also embed the interactive map on your own website. See Embeds for the iframe snippet and setup instructions.Next steps
